A small-town transfer station used by Leeds residents who would rather drop off trash nearby than drive to a distant landfill. It handles compacted loads that get trucked out, and most users are town residents bringing household bags, bulky items, and recycling on weekends and during seasonal cleanups.
The drive-up layout is practical and not fancy: look for an entrance lane with a staffed booth and a spot where trucks are weighed before and after loads. Vehicles typically pull up to the booth, then proceed to the tipping area where loads are emptied into compactors or containers. The site is exposed and can get icy or muddy in winter, with semi-trucks coming and going; expect some noise and diesel smell when trucks are loading. Recycling and drop-off containers are usually grouped together, so bring something to help sort and unload at the stall.
